Well it scares me.  If playing 2N as "limit raise or better" then 3C 
should be either a LSGT *or* the beginning of a slam try sequence with 
values and length in C.  West might hold Qx,AKTxx,x,AKxxx and 6H is 
laydown (and given the X of 1H the SQ isn't really needed).  To me 3D is 
a not only an LA to 3H but the blindingly obvious choice.

If West thinks 2N is a Lebensohlic style relay to 3C then 3D shows a 
weak hand with 6+D and no H fit and will pass.  3D looks as if it goes 4 
off.
